Approximately 12,000 people made their way onto historic Ford Island to attend this year's Biggest Little Airshow in Hawaii at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor, which just wrapped up its 10th annual event.
More than a dozen top remote control pilots showcased their award winning Giant Scale aircraft. In recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, pilots from nationally acclaimed Warbirds West performed an epic Battle of Midway reenactment with dive bombers and fighter planes, as well as a reenactment of the Pearl Harbor attack utilizing a fleet of Japanese AM6 Zeros. Aircraft stunts, helicopter aerobatics and flying formations kept the crowd on their feet.
Hundreds also made their way through historic Hangar 79 for tours of World War II restored aircraft and to climb into open cockpits. The event also included a Kids Zone with rides and kid-friendly activities, as well as a "Snow Field." The two-day event capped off with a Jelly Belly "Candy Bombing" over historic Ford Island runway.
